Uzbekistan, as a key infrastructure country in Central Asia, continues to promote the improvement of its highway transportation network, leading to a significant increase in the demand for asphalt mixtures.
This project is our company’s second 120-ton/hour mobile asphalt mixing plant in Uzbekistan. Prior to this, several 80-160T/H fixed asphalt mixing plants had been stably put into operation locally. Throughout our long-term cooperation, our equipment has gained recognition in the local market for its stable production capacity and superior quality, laying a solid foundation for this new project.
Based on the local road construction conditions, the client identified three core requirements:
Stable equipment production capacity to ensure a continuous supply of asphalt materials for the project;
Short installation cycle for rapid commissioning and cost recovery, suitable for short-term concentrated construction periods;
Localized operation, with comprehensive installation, commissioning, personnel training, and after-sales support services to reduce the difficulty of later maintenance. Simultaneously, the client required the equipment to be environmentally friendly, reducing construction dust pollution and complying with local environmental construction standards.
As a professional road engineering equipment manufacturer, our company possesses mature experience in asphalt mixing plants, encompassing product R&D, production, quality control, complete system testing, sales, and after-sales service. Our production processes are mature, and our quality control system is comprehensive. For many years, we have focused on optimizing and upgrading road machinery and equipment, modifying equipment structures to suit the unique climate and construction environment of Central Asia, adapting them to the outdoor construction conditions in Uzbekistan, characterized by large temperature differences and frequent dust storms.
The core advantage of this project lies in our localized installation service. Our company has established a dedicated local installation team in Uzbekistan.

The ZAP-M120 mobile asphalt mixing plant was designed with strict control over the construction schedule. The commissioning period was from July 1st to August 2nd, 2021. The entire process—installation, commissioning, acceptance, and commissioning—was completed seamlessly. While ensuring construction quality, the overall construction period was shortened to quickly achieve equipment operation.
Considering the local road conditions in Uzbekistan, a modular, sealed transportation method was adopted. The various independent systems of the mixing plant were transported separately to avoid road height and width restrictions. Before the equipment arrived on site, the local installation team surveyed the construction site in advance, leveled the site, planned the equipment placement, and connected the 380V industrial power supply line, completing the basic preparations in advance to lay the foundation for rapid installation.
This installation was fully handled by our local installation team in Uzbekistan. Leveraging our extensive installation experience, we established a standardized installation process to efficiently complete the equipment setup:
Module Positioning and Assembly: Following the equipment installation drawings, we sequentially positioned and assembled the cold material system, drying system, mixing tower, and dust removal system, reinforcing the chassis support to ensure equipment operational stability;
Pipeline Connection and Laying: We completed the connection of pneumatic pipelines, electrical circuits, asphalt delivery pipelines, and heat transfer oil pipelines, rigorously testing pipeline sealing and circuit insulation to eliminate potential oil and electrical leaks;
Electrical System Commissioning: We assembled Siemens electrical components, commissioned the Russian-language control system, calibrated batching and metering parameters, burner temperature control parameters, and dust removal ventilation control parameters, and optimized the equipment operating procedures;
Complete Machine Integration Testing: After installation, we conducted no-load test runs and material-loaded trial production, testing the entire process of feeding, drying, mixing, discharging, and dust removal, and troubleshooting abnormal noises, jamming, and metering deviations.
After the equipment was successfully commissioned, the installation team conducted specialized training for the customer’s operators. The training covered basic equipment operation, parameter adjustment, daily maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety procedures, providing hands-on instruction to ensure operators could work independently. Following successful training and customer acceptance, the equipment was officially put into operation. The entire process, from on-site installation to commissioning, took only 33 days, significantly exceeding the industry average efficiency.
After the project was put into operation, the ZAP-M120 mobile asphalt mixing plant operated stably, with a measured production capacity consistently maintained at 120 tons/hour. The quality of the mixed asphalt met standards, fully satisfying the local road construction material needs. The localized installation team’s rapid delivery, professional commissioning, and hands-on training service model solved the customer’s equipment installation and operation problems. The configuration of Siemens electrical control components and an environmental recycling system reduced equipment failure rates and production costs.
